It's actually got 20% tint all the way around...the pictures make it look like I don't because of the sunlight. My exhaust is just a basic Tanabe from e-bay. It fills out the cut outs in the rear bumper perfectly IMO, and sounds awesome...real deep and throaty.

install the coilovers yet?


Car looks great. Soon people will realize that going so low will start wearing out their suspension and cause other problems...then they'll start raising their cars back up like the old school days.....

I dropped it another 1/4in. today, and I think it made a nice difference. Not super slammed, but got rid of a little bit of wheel gap. It's on Megan LP coilovers. I did a lot of research about these coilovers vs. others like K-sport and Tein....I gotta say these are really decent so far for the money. I don't do any hard driving, and have like a 10 minute commute to work. They were a perfect choice for me. Also threw on my L-tuned grill again today...I like to switch it up from time to time

Yea i have a "Ralco" pulley set. I noticed more torque at high RPM. Weight wise, the crank pulley compared to stock is night and day. And there was also no serpentine belt fitment problem having the smaller crank pulley on there.
The intake is well worth the money. I had a Fujita on there before which sucked...it was causing a terrible hesitation. The SRT is great because of the ECU piggy back, it def. smoothed out the hesitation. It also sounds a lot nicer than the Fujita did!
